There is no topic this week, or rather a myriad of topics. One might say a potpourri of topics. A melange of topics . Why isn’t there a coherent topic for today’s post? Shut up, that’s why.

Thanks this week go to Lsig, pfmDesigner, Grapes, Little Man asked a question, the Wife and then there is some other guy chiming in. Let’s stop wasting your and my time and answer some questions.

1. What TV shows are you watching?I am catching up on Supergirl now that the series is on Netflix, I am slowly catching up on the end of the seasons for the Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow. I am watching Agents of SHIELD and @Midnight as well. We just subscribed to Curiosity Stream so I am eating up everything Professor Ian Stewart has created for the BBC and Discovery, and I am always on the lookout for good documentaries.

2. Any vacations planned?Some ideas of vacations, but no concrete vacations planned.

3. Do the kids like school this year?A little yes and a little no. Little Man is unhappy with the amount of work he has to do in 7th grade and Q is having some trouble with one of her teachers. It is not great.

4. How are the dogs?Dogs are good. They are growing like weeds. I feel terrible for saying this, but one thing having dogs has made me realize, is that I really am not a dog person. I love my pups and will love them for the long term, but I don’t want no more doggies after them.

5. How is the job going?It is going really well… I really do love it. Some laws have changed recently that might change how I am working, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

6. What’s your favorite “That’s what she said” moment?

No such thing... Not sure why there is this weird extra spacing here... CSS? Why in God's name is this happening to me? (That's what she said)

7. Would you be willing to live in a sealab-type habitat for one year?Maybe, I would need it to be incentivized somehow. We can talk prices later.

8. If you were invited to appear on the Jerry Springer Show without being told why, would you go?Nope. No way in hell.

9. What classic movie would you like to see remade with modern techniques and cast?That Darn Cat and the Christina Ricci / Doug E Doug doesn't count... I want a real remake that isn't so crappy.

11. How are you celebrating the good Captain's 40th birthday?I will try and do something very British. It may involve bangers and mash and some upstairs/downstairs type TV viewing.

12. Do you own his first appearance in Marvel Team-Up or the Captain Britain mask that came with issue 1 of Captain Britain weekly?Nope, I became aware of him as they introduced him in the X-Men prior to launching Excalibur.

13. What is your favorite iteration of the character?I love the original character design. It is insane. So many elements all over the place.

14. What British writer would you most like to see pen a story of the Captain?Maybe Grant Morrison. I don’t think he has ever touched that character.

15. When did the Ottoman Empire exist and why did it fall apart?Okay the empire was stated to have had its inception in 1299 and it fell apart into multiple nation states. The fall of the Ottoman Empire was preceded by their loss in World War I… the concessions the Empire had to make made it internally weak and the susceptible to ethnic break-up.

17. What is your favorite thing to cook and why?I really enjoy cooking in general and all that, but I think my favorite thing is the America’s Test Kitchen version of Maque Choux. It is so good!

18. What is your least favorite thing to cook and why?Octopus… and duh...

19. What is the most endearing thing the dogs do? What is the most annoying?Endearing… they are huggers. Cesca does it more so than Chewie, but they are huggers.Annoying… they bark waaay too much

20. What is the one thing that you absolutely do not understand about your wife?One thing? Pashaw… I cannot narrow it down.
